10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 4, 2022

This all came back to me as I read Learning the Birds: A Midlife Adventure because author Susan Fox Rogers was one of the two birders to find the Ames Henslow’s Sparrow. Isn’t every other blog post or tweet these days about how people are learning to bird? Not an enticing subject, I think. How is birding like rock climbing?

I was predictably pleased to encounter a couple of Black-throated Blue Warblers as well as a Red Fox at Cobbs Hill in Rochester.

If you think it is rather pretentious to start a birding blog post with a Kafka story, I fully agree with you. Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui. I just want to point out it could be much worse.

Great Gray Owl taking the bait (photo by Nathalie Fortier) At the end of the experience, she posted her photographs clearly stating that the bird was baited, and leaving the mouse in most photos. One wouldn’t tether a rabbit out to get a shot of a fox or a coyote, or is that somehow different?
